5 months old and constipated...

Dear Cepheus,

You are now 5 months old, weighing about 6.5kg and at a length of 65cm, which is about average for a baby of your age. We guess you take after me and your mummy, we are both skinny. It seems like you are having constipation as you did not pass motion for 4 days in a row. Being the typical parent, I brought you to the PD for a check up. The PD stuck his finger up your rectum to check for hardened stool and there was none. He then insert some medicine to help you pass motion which you did within an hour. I am so sorry to put you through this. You were crying really really loud. I guess it must be pretty uncomfortable. The doctor also suggested giving you some home make apple juice (boiling a apple without it's skin in water) to give you some fiber to assist you in passing motion.

Love always,
daddy
